    How long does it take for CRDP to kick in after retirement?

    Your example is true. Does that mean I will only get my 50% retirement and my VA percentage pay, not the 70% percentage and va?

    How long does it take for CRDP to kick in after retirement?

    Based on my current understanding is that I am not going to get my VA waiver portion back and will “lose” that 2000 a month because I can’t get more than my actual TIS amount (50%). So besides my VA rating, I don’t think the Army’s medical retirement number meant a whole lot because I guess I...

    How long does it take for CRDP to kick in after retirement?

    You are on it, my good Sir. Yes, I am at 70% following my medical retirement, instead of 50%. Tracking then. I will chalk this up to another little bullet point they forgot to mention during my transition. Again this highlights the knowledge that places like this can provide; because the DFAS...

    How long does it take for CRDP to kick in after retirement?

    Good Day, Team: Have a question regarding CRDP, I recently medically retired (NOV24) with over 20 years of service. On 01JAN, I just received my first retirement check. In going through the statement, I noticed that a subtraction filed under VA Waiver. I was under the impression that the VA...

    When do you receive your final VA numbers?

    Completed my MEB and I’m on terminal leave. I’m due to medically retire mid NOV and I got notified on the VA App that my case is in phase 5/8 (Compensation). With everyone’s experience, I wanted to see when I should see my rating populate in the app. Thanks,

    Throughout my MEDBOARD process, I began getting the resume ready and beginning to prep for the results. Flash forward, I have my decisions and I am on my way towards retirement.

    I feel ya. My VA portion closed on 27JUL and I’m just waiting for my 199. My battle got her 199 last week and her cases closed exactly a week before mine, so I am anticipating any time but who knows. My PEBLO has been less than helpful. I just want some more transparency and accountability. No...

    Fort Carson Timeline (April start)

    It’s crazy how much of a crap-shoot it is. My battle got hers last week and her va closed a week before mine (20JUL). I wish we could check the status instead of waiting for the PEBLO to send an email (transparency and accountability).
